DIY Wrapped Headphones

I’ve been traveling for the majority of the past couple weeks, so bear with me as I get back on my DIY feet… I have a really easy, fun project for you today! I was inspired by this photo (I can’t remember where it is from so if you know please tell me!).

As someone who uses a plain old pair of black earbuds, I loved the idea of adding some color by wrapping the headphone cords in embroidery thread!

What you need: headphones, embroidery thread and scissors

Select which colors, and how many, you want to use. Cut them longer than the headphone cord – you always need more than you think! Knot them around the headphone cord.

Pick whatever color you want to start with and begin making “four” knots. Cross the thread as seen above, and then pull up towards the top to create your knot. Repeat this as many times as you want with each color.

That’s all there is to it! Now you’ve got a colorful new pair of headphones :)

Ive seen this idea before too and I love it!! I actually have an awesome pair of O’neil headphones I bought from best buy that have a colorful bungee type cord instead of the regular cord…..they r awesome cause they don’t tangle

Love it!!! Totally doing this on my lazy Sunday (that isn’t going to be so lazy as I have a reason to finish HW early: to go out and get some embroidery thread and get started on this!) I bet it helps prevent them from getting tangled, too! That is my biggest issue with headphones! yay! theyll look like hair-wraps.

Have you ever found yourself wondering how on earth your earphones managed to get so tangled in your pocket? Well, I don’t have the answer to that but what I do have is a solution to the annoying problem with this amazing free app.
